Overview

The National renal Indigenous resource collaborative (NRIRC) is a joint initiative between Kidney Health Australia and Amgen Australia. The initiative aims to pool and share existing education resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The project is committed to the broader goal of a healthy lifestyle and cardiovascular disease risk reduction, but with a specific focus on kidney health.

Existing education materials will be researched by the NRIRC Steering Committee, and judged as quality materials to assist in re‐enforcing key messages and educating the community about kidney health. These materials will be available as free and downloadable content. It is hoped that this screening process will assist in identifying gaps in existing resources for Indigenous peoples, from which work can be commissioned to fill those gaps, with a focus on standardising messages around chronic kidney disease.
